1. Introduction

Program Overview:

CPHR Saskatchewan’s Mentorship Program provides the framework for members to be matched with other members for the purpose of enhancing professional development and building professional relationships in a meaningful and supportive way. These relationships enable program participants to exchange knowledge, develop skills and competencies, share experiences, share resources and build a community of thought-partners in Saskatchewan. Whether you are new to the field of HR or a senior practitioner, the program can support your development and growth as an HR professional. This is not a job search program. This member-only program runs annually from January to December.  Applications are accepted in the Fall each year. 

Benefits of Becoming a Mentor:
  • Share knowledge, expertise and resources with peers in the HR community
  • Make a significant impact on a protégé's professional development
  • Spend time with a protégé who is passionate about HR and eager to learn, develop and grow
  • Reflect on your own career, summarize your journey, and formulate your views on success in business
  • Influence the next generation of business leaders
  • Develop a professional relationship that transcends the Mentorship Program
  • Earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours to a maximum of 10 hours per year

Time Commitment for Mentors and Protégés:
  • Attend a Virtual Meet and Greet event to receive training and information regarding program objectives in January 2022 and a Mid-year event (June); 
  • Commit to a minimum of 1 hour per month of interaction with your mentoring partner during the program (face-to-face (preferred when possible), phone, email, Zoom, FaceTime, Skype, etc.);
  • Track interaction with your mentoring partner for the duration of the program;
  • Sign a Mentoring Agreement with your mentoring partner confirming commitment to the program, frequency/methods of communication and confidentiality.
  • Renew your CPHR Saskatchewan membership in May, 2022 to remain active in the program;
  • Complete a survey at the end of the program to provide valuable feedback for the future of the program.

NOTE: If you would like to participate as BOTH a Mentor and a Protégé, please complete one application for each role.
